"I can do this all Day"

The man punched the Skinny blonde Steve down into the Trash cans. "Hey! Get out of here you skunk!" A femine voice yelled.

Both boys turned around to see a girl that looked exactly like the boy he was beating up, except she had large round glasses and her hair was much more brighter. She looked around 10 or possibly 12

A man stood next to her wearing a  military navy Suit. The teenage boys eyes widen. "Go pick on someone you own size" Bucky spat before punching the teenager in the face.

The teenager ran away and bucky helped Steve to stand up. "I could've handled it" Steve said. Lilly smiled at her brothers grumbling.

"And come home asking dad for a new satchel? Highly Doubt he'll get you another one" She said. Bucky looked between the two then held Lilly's hand as he walked out of the alley way, holding Steve in a head lock.

"Please don't do anything stupid. Both of you" Bucky warns. He was leaving to go to the Army. Steve held Lilly's hand has tears trembled down her Cheeks.

"How can we? When your taking all the stupid with you" Steve remarked. Bucky ruffled his hair, then bent down to Lilly's height.

He took off his army Hat and placed it on her head. He kissed her cheek. "I love you Lil's. Keep your brother out of trouble" he ordered playfully. Lilly giggled through her tears.

Bucky removed her glasses and wiped her tears away, before putting them back on. He hugged the 10 year old for the last time in ages before walking away from the Rogers.

Little does he know that he won't be seeing one of them for a very, very, very...

Very...

Long time...

"Are you sure you want to do this Steve? I may be 10 but I'm not stupid" Lilly remarked. Her brother was thinking of joining the army himself.

"Yes Lilly. This is a perfect opportunity" Steve argued his point. "Of what? Perfect opportunity to get killed!? I know you want to prove yourself but this doesn't have to be like this!" Lilly argued back.

Steve was Speechless. She may be 10 but she wasn't stupid, and she wasn't silly.

"I already lost bucky and I'm not loosing you!" Lilly yelled. She went to her room slamming the foor.

Steve sighed. He was going to join the Army whether she liked it or not.

Steve opened his Compass. A picture of Peggy Carter sat inside. He smiled before closing it. The compass had Initials on them, not Steve's, but Lilly's.
